The Enquirer*! Ileplj.
lit .* Lite paragraph on Mr. Hull's record, wo
charged that- be “acknowledged tho power of
Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Co
s that tiu “\ -.u,l with the Dlack l*opub
lican p the repeal of tho Missouri Compro
mise, thereby favoring a practical application of
the WiUnot Proviso to all Territory North of tho
line Z that ho eontMnlcd that a President
“shenld wait until tho last moment, before veto
iii, a Tenbill containing tho “Wiluiot Pro*
vi ,” thervSy implying that Congress possesses
the p wer, the uxcreise of it being Uety’ruiincd by
the circumstances of tho case.” Tho two last we
adduced ia proof of tho charge that Mr. llcll ad
mitted “the right of Congress to prohibit slavery
iu tho Territories. *’
Now. reader, how do you suppose the Enquirer
met :.- these charges ? We’ll tell you. It virtu
ally admit* the first two, and gives tho go*l>y to
the last. This, though quite ns clever as wc could
expo, i, is not satisfactory. The lost is equally
true ‘v-.th tho rest, and quite as conclusive on the
point up.-a which it bears, and we intend totuako
tho f.M'inirrr admit //. Wo will first, however,
notice somo of its o ; icfatnms. Iu reply to tho
charge that Mr. Doll conceded the power of Con
grees tv abolivii slavery in the District *l Colum
bia. it Bgya >
• He inscaicJ, in ono of his speeches, a wil
lingness to see tho scant rcuinant of slavery in the
Distr et abolished, if thereby ho could secure to
iho South guarantees wqrth inGnitely mure to her
than her lues by sdeh a sacriUce. llut ho would
not agroo to i: without nuiplo compensation, and
tliis the North would not give—so he never sup
p >vte l any bill having such an object in view.”
Wu will net stop hero to inquire of our ncigh
• i what “guarantees” can compensate u free
people for the sacrifice of their Constitutional,
right , but wo wi/I inquire w list this “aniplocom-
Ipt a-aiion” what these/‘guarautcos” were % Mr.
Hell take the stand ! lie says :
“1 would be glad to sec all cause of disturbance
I and contention in the District wholly removed;
| bur let me say that thi* can never be done by tho
j ad dition of slavery, unless it be accompanied by
; .< >iac .i t-;tiate provision t-.r tlie removal or tho
| ei. • live > u.rtd -f the slave.* after they shall l*o
I cmau ipa ted. With thio ‘(tiali Haitian, and in
reg ird t - vany further an l coutinncd aggression
upon outheru property, l te<>uld re content to
I Ml.**. SI.AVKItI in the hiftrict AtOIABHMTi TO-DAY.*’
! will thus be ■ i that if Congrera should
make “• o. • adequate provision for the rewowil
or fit . jctiye control of the slaves” after emanci
pation, Mr. Bell would bo in favor of abolishing
slavery in the District* and that this talk übout
• -ample compensation” and “guarantees,” is all
a rhetorical flourish. Mr. Bell demanded none,
and i ch.dengo tho />*•/<ua to prove that ho
did. It Tirthcr appaferit that Mr. Bell went
entirely o-. This way to declare this Abolition
do.*;riot. Ho wus the hill to abolish
the */im: wad iu the District, and no proposition
wn pending > touch fn-*iy in any other way.
Thi*, therefore. a tub gratuitously thrown to
the Abolition u ..i! . lie could buvo bad no olh
,ir mAn t: .m to vcul the cf which his
heart was full. White on this subject wo desire l
t- foith: u qucstioi with the Knquirtr. It says ;
that wo “unfairly charged” it a low days ago
with holding that Congress had the power to
sdwli. h slavery in the District. That charge was
based up> a the declaration of < ur cotemporary,
t hat tho power of Congress to abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia, was difiorent from, nnd
much more oinplo than any power it possessed in
i re.-j-ct cto tho Tcrritor.c .. We have it to the
| : ader to decide whether tho charge had ra- i
tionai aud legitimate basis, liven in tho article
j before us the Enquirer says:
“Tho power <f Congress over slavery in the Dis
til, t bus no connection whatever with its power
over the same subject in tho Territories -the
grants in tho vonstitutiuii arc wholly ditlc-reut.”
| .\'.>w let us understand each other, lias Con
•: th'* power to abolish slavery in the Territo
ry.. Wo say it has not. rio says the Enquirer.
lias it the power to abolish slavery in tho Dia-
I triet We *ay not. If not, tjien, there is no
doi'eteare. Hut our neighbor denies the charge;
we accept the i< a ail with the privilege of remitr
king up >n tho fttaage position presented by a
j mrnaJ, which supports for the highest office in tho
I gflftof the people, a man who is in antagonism
: •■■■ Ith it upon u-vital, courtitulional question.
Iu re.'pe- . to the charge that Mr. Bell claimed
r t -ngn the power to prohibit slavery iu the
i T**TritorieM. We have shown that Mr. Boil voted
.'{hast the n •, :alof tho Missouri com prom iso in
: sifting the passage of tho Kansas-Nebraska bill
The Enquire ■ j rcteods that he was in favor of
tho rtpt'il, but opp-Mtcd the bill for other reason*.
Y.'hot reas * •• ‘ 110 ‘*acquiesced in itschief prin
|nil.■. n;n it tcrventiou ■|uatu.*r suvereignty,
I .i* the Eaqu.rmr calls it, why did ho vote against
lit ‘ Our ueighb.r tells us, “he differed with his
j Southern friends only ns to tho r<.iu/t of the
measure.” V.'hat results? Why, agitation by
I ii.? Northern fricn-L* on account of the repeal of
j the Missouri restriction ! There can be no doubt
nb if. He opposed the bill bocau-c of thi, re
peal, or the raultt which he imagined would flow
from it—which in the same thing, lie then voted
with tho Republican party against the almost
J unanimous South to prohibit slavery in all tho
Territory North of UG” Zif:
In addition to thi*, we furnish the following
copious extract from his speech on the Corapro
tu>- bill, which we find in the appendix to the
: regional (iiobe, Ist ."let Congress,
n page Um :
“In the late canvass, I knew not nor sought
to know the views of Genera l Taylor upon tho
Mtiestion of tho VlTlmot Proviso, nor whether he
i.iid formed any opinion or determination as to
! what hi- course would be, should he be called
ito give or withhold his sanction to a Ter
ri ~i fii 1 bill for California or Now Mexico; but in
■ - w*r to all the speculations and conjectures
upon that subject, whether emanating from the

predetermine his eour.se, or declare his purpose,

I but the - ilcty oi’ the Union itself. 1 took the
} ground that uo man, who hod any jolt preten
kjor 11 the suffrages of bis countrymen for the

that if General Taylor should declare his inten-

Tho l.agraugo E> porter is singing pteans oi
glory to the Union. It is loving it so dearly now,
that all arc disumonists who talk about rtji .vu
tv. Uric would suppose that a man who breath
es disunion would be hung with a rope, from
reading the editorials of the reporter. And vet.
“tell it not in Hath, publish it not in tho streets
of Ascalon,” that this same journal stood with us.
if wo remember right, in advocating a dissolution
of tho Union in the event Ivans as was rejected
with its pro-slavery Constitution. John Rclltoo,
one of the two men from the South in tho Senate,
voting to exclude it. It now says the Union can
not be dissolved. Quito a ebango has Avmoovor
tho Reporter in a few short months. Besides,
Hon. William P. AVright, tho Hell elector in tho
Ith District, and tho Reporter’s spokesman, sat
in the stand when Judge Iverson made his dis
uniuti speech, as it is called, at Griffin, last fall,
and warmly congratulated tho distinguished Sen
ator when ho took his seat, and sail! ho endorsed
every word of his speech, and intended bringing
Col. Gartrelll, his competitor for Congress, up to
his Iverson's)position or he would defont him in
the District. We have good authority fbr what
we say. It will be remembered that Judge Tver
s in advocated a dissolution of tho Union, in the
event of the oleoUon of a Republican President*
and the Reporter’s candidate for elector endorsed
it Will tho Uepoflbr support him?
Thr Muck Sheep-Mr. Lane, of Ala.
Tho opposition journals aro rejoicing over the
fact, that Hon. (J. W. Lane, of Alabama, a rela
tive of (lon. Joseph Lane, tho democratic candi
date for tho Vice Presidency, is an alternate
Rlector for Hell in tho Huntsville District. This
verifies the old proverb, that there is a black
sheep in every flock. Let him go. ft is a foul

Clear tho way !
Mr. r.eUSnen'dhllMcv MatC Pens
it uegroe* are property under the Constitution
) * cry owner has a right tu dispose of them. For
this purpose there are in every town of any sice
in tho South, m. 7/ (*. where negroes are sold. No
Southern man's soosibUitiu* arc affected by the
sight of negroes being plow’d together for bale,
provided they are well taken i-aro of. Hon. Joun
Hull, the opposition candidal* for President, iu
very < hary, however, of tho sousibilitk-< ol
Massachusetts and New York, aud would “more
there slave PEsa” Irom the District of Columbia,
“ot they would ajftet the sen.hibilitik.h of our

South, to the language of John Bell
“If, sir,it weroproposed mw to eradicate slave

PHOTBtriO* TO SIAVK PIICPKKTY 1\ TUB TeK
t: iron is.—When the Douglas party admits that
the Constitution gives to slaveholders tbo right
to settle in tho Territories, they virtually admit
all for which the Hrecl.ioridgo putty contend.-
Tbo latter are the uioro logicul and consistent;
hut both stand virtually oil tho same ground. It
is unworthy tho position of u statesman like Mr.
Douglas tocoucode tbo right of the South, nnd
then suggest a way of rendering that right a
nullity by a trick of Territorial legislation.

Appeal* in Kentucky, received u smaller vote

New Orleans Dnnorrar) -TranHptrcncles
There was an iiumcnso gathering of the pure
democracy in New Orleans a few days since to
ratify the nominations of Brvckiuridgu und Lane.
It in reported that there were many thousand
persons in the grand procession. Speeches were
nude and great enthusiasm prevailed.
On onu of the many transparencies borne on the
occasion was a representation <>f a cracked and
broken bell, the clapping works of whieh were
headed by a hammer head of dodger Bell, und an
old fiddle underneath. Upon this transparency
was written the laconic words *
“Hell is played out.”
On another wa an illustration of Douglas, Bell
and Lincoln seated atraddlewi-e on a rail—one
of those split by Abe, no doubt -said rail being
balanced on the up turned feet of a negro who
was lying on his back. There wore numerous
colloquial sentences on this lantern, indicative
of tho fears and fortunes of the throe aspirants
fur office.
Another lantern bore this ray wording from
c.t-Gov. Wise, of Va.:
“Squatter Sovereignty, the short cut to Black
Republicanism.”

disunionist as any member of the Breckinridge
party. There is no’question of disunion before
the people. It is not in the Breckinridge plat*

>Uw\n that the people of Georgia will not submit
to the inauguration of Lincoln ns President. -
They w4U secede first. ’ ,
Tho above is tho purport ~fa rocAt tolograph
ic dispatch from Washington, aud the Enquirer
“1 yesterday makes it tho text for an editoriul.- -
M e hardly need inform our renders of tho Opin
ion of that journal as to tho duty of the South in
the contingency referred to. It Is in favor of qui
et submission to the rule of a majority, which
openly declare exterminating warfare ufMiii tho
institutions ol the South. It professes, in advance,
its allegiance to tho Government when its forces
shall bo controlled and directed by au adminis
tration, tho sum and substance of whose policy is
boldly nnd publicly announced to bo tho “de
struction of the power of slavery.” Tho Enquirer
is welcome to enjoy whatever consolation it may
derive from tho contemplation of this event, but
when it goes further and says that it represents
tho “sentiment of tho people of Georgia,” wo
claim the right, which a faith in tho patriotism of
Georgians, and in their abhorrence of dishonor
and degradation gives us, to declare that it.< us*
sorlh n is u libel upon our noble State, Our co
temporary is “perfectly convinced” that it ex
presses tho general sentiment of its own party.
Me are loth to believe it. M’o do not believe it.
Such may be tho opinion of a majority of those
with whoai our neighbor falls in coutnet, but we
-• hall Relieve, until the test is made, that tho hon
est intelligence and J patriotic impulses of the
great mass of tho people revolt at the proposition.
M e do not place tho dissolution of tho Union iu
the event of a Black Republican administration
in tlie class of Constitutional remedies. Tho
framers of tho Constitution anticipated no such
event, and, hence, could not provide against it.-
That instrument was formed, among other rea
sons, “to establish justice, insure domestic tran
quility, and Secure tho blessings of liberty to our
sclves ami our posterity.” It, consequently, could
•‘ever have anticipatodthat thogovurnmont which !
it formed ajiould bo controlled by u party, tho de
clared purpose of which la the ctionof these
gi At ■ ; ■/.?. No thinking man can doubt that
if this event had been foreseen, tho : lavo .States
W'*i.ld never have entered tho Union. Wlmt
v. uuld ltavi prevented its formation, reason says,
would justify its dissolution. Wo boast of tho
spirit of our fathers, und claim that it has descen
ded to us. Will we spurn und repudiate tho val
ued inheritance ?
Wo truce the right in question to an older in
strument than the Constitution. Wo find it as
serted iu tho charter of humanity the great un
written hnv of self preservation. It is equal in
sacredms.s, and in distinctness of enunciation,
with tho right which human Jaw gives a man to
kill his enemy, whom he finds, with n lighted
fagot, in I lie act of firing his dwelling; or tho
right to (uko the life of his fellow man who ap
proaches him with a deadly weapon, declaring a
deadly ii.i- nt—aye, even if he has made a dead
ly threat. Will not tho rights, tho institutions,
the homes and firesidos of the Southern people
be placed in imminent peril by the election of an
aboEtion a ! ainisiration and their submission to
its rule? Let the past history of that party an
swer’ *Let tbo motto of its present candidate for
the Presidency—“the States must ho all free or
slavo"— make the response ! Listen to tho fol
lowing proclamation froiu the groat u pot tie and
representative of abolitionism made only one
week ago to the citizens of Boston! We commend
it especially to tho perusal and digestion of our
neighbor:
rt What a commentary upon tho wisdom of
man is* given in this single fuel, that fifteen
years only after the death of John Quincy Ad
ams, the people of the I ilitcd ,States, who hurled
hint from power anil from place, are calling to
the head of the nation , to thr. very seat from whieh
he was tape Util, Abraham Lincoln

and that he avoirs himself for weal or Ivor, far
life or death, <i soldier on. tin side of f)cetloin in.
the irrepressible, conflict, between freedom aud

man, is my Biinphs confession. I desire, now,
only to say to you that you have arrived at the
last stage, of this conflict before non reach the
triumph which is to inaugurate this great poll

* ,v I tell you fellow citizens that with this
victory conus the end of the power of slavery in
thr Vn ited States,.”
Thi* is the picture on whieh the people of tho
South arc Invited to look. It is no fanciful sketch
drawn by the hand of uu unreaaouing enthusi
ast, hut a representation of what is to he-—a
faithful etching by a cold, thinking, calculating
artist, of tho doom of the South, unless the ean
vans shall be tnnrrcd and blotted with tho blood
of tho Union. The time of its realization may
lie postponed. Political tactics—party combine
tions now th progress or hereafter to be made,
may, by possibility, procure for tho South a re
pritvo of fate, but the year JM>5 will witness the
consummation as certainly as we breathe the free
air of heaven to-day. It is the duty of all men,
whol’ .ctlie Constitution, und the Union which
it established, to labor to avert it. Tho party
with which wo act, we rejoice to see, is directing
it* energies to that end. In the Northern .State*,
where only such combinations could be effective,
it has proposed to all parties, save one, to make
a common cause against Lincoln. Should these
und all other efforts fail, our duty is plain- our
coarse determined. We shall exhort the South
to leave an Union in which nothing but degrada
tion and ruin awaits her. IVi thin if, her rights
and her honor will bo entombed. The stone will
be placed at. the door of tho sepulchre and no an
gel may be commissi one and to roll it away.

they,were fighting men might call on him tu set

man pays tho following compliment to the above
named voters and tho Americans, to-wit:
“Above all, lmw thirsty for office, how lost, te
decency and sety-rcspcct, how low in tho cesspool
of dcmagnguivn, must that creature bo. who can
deliberately disgrace himself and impeach the in
tolligotrre of tho people, by declaring that John

Ob! no! Mr. Bell is sound! Horace Grocly,
an abolitionist of tho bluest dye, was only jo
king when ho said John Hell would suit him for
tho Presidency. And Mr. Bell himself consci
entiously believed it to ho his duty to vote
against tho pro-slavery constitution of Kansas,
(tho Black Republicans believed so too,)though
tho wholo South toted for it. And ho was only
fearful of offending the “sensibilities of his Nor
thern friends” in desiring to remove the “slave
pens*’ from tho District of Columbia, and thought
mmo tho loss of slavery because “he would be
content tu see it abolished to-day” iu tho District
(/‘the slaves wore provided for after cmanoipa
tion. lie mount nothing by voting fur Califor
nia with hor squatter sovereignty constitution,
though Dorriou opposed it with the wholo South.
Iu fact, wo can’t see how auy public man, who
lias voted for tho last ten years, for one reason or
another, against tho South, upon every great
issue, could ho unsound! That is out of the
question. Such a man is so sound that the soun
dest of all parties upon tho subject of slavery (!)
j to wit, tho Republican party, ought to canvas*
his claims before their Convention for tho Presi
dency. Horace Grocly himself, a largo slave
holder (?) ought to bo willing to vote for him !
Aud evon W. H. Seward, tho Senator from Now
York, deserves thanks for saying of John Bell
and those who opposed tho Kansas bill, that they
had “modorutod in favor of slavery and against
freedom.” No one but a “sound” man would
got such encomiums from so largo a slaveholder

authorised to remove his command to Stuithville,

Now wc, in our simplicity, says an exchange,
should have thought this one of tho moat iuno
cont of items. We should never have suspected
“treason, stratagem and spoils” lurking beneath
the simple statement of a precautionary measure,
for protecting tho health of Undo Sam’s troops,

An Important Dihtinction. The Rev. W.
McMahon, u venerable Methodist minister, is
writing reminiscences of his early life. Ho found
c l tho first Methodist Church in Huntsville, Alu.
Tho scone of tho following anecdote, we believe, is
located somewhere in that section of the State :
I had preached thisyear to a hardened congre
gation ol wealthy sinners, where there was no so
ciety ; and, 1 suppose, they thought themselves
“free from tho dead,” so for as pay was concerned.
When I was preaching my last sermon to them,
I remarked that 1 had been preaching to them for
I some lime tbo best 1 could, and that if I had uot
j preached as well as others, I hud preached as
cheap a gospel us any other mini ever did ; tlmt
1 for all my labor among them, I had not received
i as much us would wrap my little finger with cru
j cus. As i was taking my leave of them, there
was some feeling manifested, when a large, fat
(Ii man enure up to the pulpit, blubbering and,
wiping bis eyes, snid, “God bless you, sir : if wc
I poor critters don’t pay you, tho Lord will.” 1 I
• understand,” said I, “that tho Lord Is very good
1 for his own contract, but 1 never heard that ho
j was hound to pay your debts.”
Bi:k<;kjmudok I’auty Dirunionihts. -So say
! tho Oppositionists in the dearth of their argu
ment to get votes. We find nothing about dis
! union, eitborjn the declarations or platform of our
j candidates. One of the Bell electors in Georgia
I is understood to advocate disunion, in the event
lof tbo election of a Republican President. Mr.
1 Fillmore says a dissolution “must” take place on
tho “sucoess” of the Republican party.
! 7*1,0 Montgomery Confederation, tho niotropo
-1 litan Douglas organ of Alabama, favors dis
union upon the election of a Republican Presi-
I dent. Ex {Senator Foote, tlie tendiug spirit of
the Douglasitcs in Mississippi, announces tho
j <ame thing In a speech at New York.
‘/ftflF'The lion. \Ym. A. Richardson, of Illinois’
perhaps tho warmest aud most confidential friend
that Mr. Douglas has in the United States, in a
letter to the Quiucy-Herald, published at Quincy,
Illinois, says:
“Bxth Lincoln and Breckinridge advocate meas
ures hostile to those I favor, and us between them,
I am indiferent.”
Such are specimens of the opinions, says tho
Constitution, that Douglas men at tho North en
tertain towards the democratic party now in tho
death-strugglo for tho Constitution and tho
Uniou. What is tho issuo in which tho Ohio
Douglas democrat prefers Lincoln to Breckin
ridge, and between whom Mr. Richardson is in- !
different? Howard Ims lately proclaimed it in
Boston. It in the lust battle iu tho irrepressible
conflict between Freedom and Slavery—tbo elec

a true democrat hesitate or bo indifferent in such
a contest? Wo think not.

How It was Done.
Tho Douglas men in Kentucky aro quite boast
ful over their aid iu defeating McClarty iu Ken
tucky. Tho Louisville Democrat acknowledges
its agency iu defeating the Democratic uotuinoe
in this purugraph :
“Although we can't claim a Democratic victo
ry, Democrats can claim the victory of defeating
McClarty. Let them set down as much of it to
our account us wo deserve. We esteem it tho
best service wo can render tho party or the coun
try, aud we congratulate all who gave their aid
in the cause.”
Tbo Yincenues Star, an influential Dougins
paper of Indiana, thus refers to this result:
‘//’ theßreckinndgecandidales arc to be defeat
ed by only such means, FOR Gob’s SAKE I.KT THEM
WEAR TUB VICTORY !”
The Star says the Douglas men, with whom it
is acting, should uot have fused with the relic* of

Mr. Hen C. Yancey, soil of Col. W. L. Yancey.
They fought with sticks, Mr. Yancey was the at
tacking party. Both were severely cut on tho
head. The cause of tho difficulty was an article
that uppeared in the Confederation on tho sub
ject of tho tamoiiH Southern League. An immense
crowd gathered around tho combatants while tho

Hi Tin.k J. Ui.knn. Esq, mode a Douglas

The writer heard Mr. Glenn assert at Charleston,
during the Convention, that he was for Douglas, i
Llnmlii and llamlln.
This country presents now the most extraordi
nary spectacle that the world ever witnessed.-
If an abolitionist were to come int<- any tow?: or
city in the South and make an abolition speech,
there is scarcely a man in the South who is not
pledged by all their antecedent*, and by ull
their professions, to hang him upon the nearest
tree, or at least tolar nnd feather and rule him

anybody would he willing t* inflict upon him.—
A large majority of the people of tho free State*,
could not, without endangering their personal
safety, come Into tho Southern Stutes, und give
public expression tu their opinions and feelings;
so dangerous do the Southern people consider
those opinions and feelings to our rights, our in
terests and our safety. And yet there are in the
South, men who call themselves Southern men,
and friends to the South, who have the hardi
hood to attempt to brand with reproach as ene

from under tho control and power of such dolt

! False t liargcH oflhe Opposition Against Mr. Rrttk-
In ridge.
The charges of tho Opposition against Mr.
Breckinridge are houio of them .*•<> absurd nnd no
tiously false, wo hud been disinclined to dignify
thorn with serious contradiction. Hut letters re
celved front friend* i n distant States advise u
thut his enemies, in th absence of all just ground
of attack, are making those calumuioi their cap
ital stock in trade, nnd indocv asserting them
so earnestly ns to demand nuthorUative denial.
Wo propose, therefore, to notice them seriatim,
and give them, by tho highest possible authority,
unqualified contradiction,
j It is charged that Mr. Brock inridgo was an
emancipationist in 184'J. This is utterly false.
1 Ho was not an Emancipationist in DM'.i, or nt.
I any other lime. Ho yyiis tho pro-slavery candi
date for tho Legislature, in 1840, and voted
against the emancipation candidate for the Stain
Convention.
It is charged that Mr. Breckinridge united in a
petition for the pardou ol John Brown. There
is not the slightest pretext for this falsehood. Mr.
Breckinridge never dreamed of mich u thing.
It is charged that Mr. Breckinridge supported
Gen. Taylor against Gun. Cuss in D tS. Thi.
is false. Ho eunvassod a portion of Kentucky for
Gen. (’ass, supported him warmly iu.d actively,
aud being on a hunting excursion on the day I*l’
election, paired off with several Taylor men in
tho party. Tho ground of this allegation i-', that
in a politic meeting before (ion. Taylor had iden
tified himself with the Wbigparty, .Mr. Brechin
ridge, in common with other prominent Denm
craft of Lexington, concurred in resolutiona re
commending him to tho Presidency. So soon,
however, ns General Taylor hucuino the nominee
of the Whig party, and Gmi. Cu* • wa* nominated
by tho Democratic party, Mr. R reck inridgo en
tered actively and efficiently into the service of
Cass. 110 returned from Mexico in time to do
some active service, uml did it wed.
It is charged that .Mr. Breckinridge is not a
slaveholder. Wo do not appreciate the force of
the argument which wi'Uld elicit from tlie fact,
if true, a conclusion prejudicial to him. But it
is untrue, he does own several slaves.
It is charged that Mr. Breckinridge has hu
farm tilled with white hirelings. How ridicu
lous and absurd is such aground of attack! Mr.
Breckinridge.wo regret to .-ay, owns no farm,
and has uoother employees in hi t rvioe than
negro slaves.
Our readers will bo surprised to learn lbar
those allegations are the mam weapons of a*-iiult
upon Mr. Breckinridge in Georgia, Alabama and
other Southern States. Such aro tho base fahri
rication* and malignant falsehoods resorted to
by his enemies to impugn his high character and
tried integrity. Such sue the piiitul resorts and
miserable calumnies to which hi* opponents are
driven to find food for abuse. With apolitical
record of tun years, filled with important vote -,
speeches and great movements, ho is invulnera
ble to just assault. Alter ten year* of eventful
participation in public affairs, hi bitterest fix
cannot assail him without lies uhd calumnies
barren of all resemblance of truth.
Tho charge of disunion sentiments or purpose
against Mr. Breckinridge is of like character and
kindred nature with those above disputed of. It
is uusustained by proof or ciicuwstaucc. A more
malignant lalseliood could not be uttered against
him than the allcgatution that lie cvcrentcrtain
ed a feeling of hostility to the Union, or that i >-
holds any other sentiment than that ot devotion
to the Union. Wo go further to meet the charge
here made, and denounce wholly false tho as
sertion that Mr. Breckinridge is influenced by,
in ou-peratiou with, or friendly to any man, set
of men of movement looking to disuuion. Wc
have tho best authority tor this statement of
facts.

Tho Boston Boat of Tuesday says:
The Jackson Democratic (.Tub No. I, of (bis

To Isaac JL Wright, Esq.. I'irst, ,1 <
Dear Sir: l find it very difliuult to decline the
complimentary invitation of yours of the I‘Jth
ult., received within the last few days. J would
prefer Boston and Fuueuil If ail in Boston to any
other stand-point to speak from in the United
States, on the topics especially of these dark
times. But it is impossible. Domestic dutit .
building aud illness together, forbid um to form
any engagements that will require additional la
hors or any abscuec from home for many months
to come
1 shall give to the Breckinridge und Lane tick
ot all my support. 1 do not agree with these
nominees in some essential particulars, and cer
tainly do not subscribe to tho platform iu tw .>
respects on which they arc placed by their nom
ination; but their triumph will be the triumph of
the vital doctrine of protect ion to persons and
property in the common Territories of tbo Uni
ted States. That Is the issue of tbi.i contest
whether protection, everywhere, to ull and
all alike, shall prevail against this emascula
ting theory of non-intervention. If protection
he an abstraction, nou-interveulion is not. If
the Legislative department, Congress, and tlie
Executive department,tho l’residcnt, (which i
‘<> seo that tire laws are faithfully executed) arc
both to ignore the partus patrin duty of protec
ting IU citizens equally aud alike, wherever tho
jurisdiction of Government extends, iu the right*
of parson und property without discriminati ,n or
distinction or difference, und are to throw tlm
powers aud duties of protecting persons and
property wholly upon the judiciary, which is the
umpire deportment between citizen and citizen,
and Government and citizens iu matters of in
dividual rights, what is to be the result? Tho
first and woratconsequence ,vill he that it will
drag the Supremo Court of the United State.’
Irom its bench of equality, equity and law aud
justice, ami bedraggle it in thuiniro of partisan
politics, until its ermine will be so stained that it
will bo unfit to hold the scales of right, justice or
morals ut all!
Tho second consequence will be that it will
set up a mere tuunicipul umpire to be arbiter or
umpire between sovereign State*, which iu the
last resort can decide only lor themselves. Tbo
third consequence will he that tho Executive,
by ignoring its duty and power of protection,
will at las ohta n all the powers of tlie Govern
ment; for the judges are nominated, and by and
with tho advice and consent of the Senate, ap
pointed by tho President. Nothing could be blmn
than the lcderaliaiu f this non-intervention doc
trine. And doe.* it leave slave property alette at
the mercy of Federal power, concentrated ulti
mutely in an executive ? No; lands, too, are at
it* mercy. What etee, who else, I won’t stop t
enumerate. For one, I will naver quietly .-übuiit
to it. Thi* issuo compel.’ tue to ido with tbc
ticket ot your choice. God grunt that our efforts
he not in vain. I fear they will be -that Black
Republicanism is to triumph in the corn* 409
tion. If so, 1 mean, for one, to abide bw and m
the Union to fight in it, not out of it -nul in .-n
----viug the country and its Constitution; but Rut t*>
submit one moment, <r to concede one single
itetn, iu a triumph which will degrade mo und
mine in this Confederacy of free and equal Stutes.

They have virtually sold themselves out to the
Breckinridge faction lit Trenton nml thereby
marie themselves tho pliant tools ofauother party,
for the purpose of defeating their own candidate*,
by offering tlietn up us a sacrifice to a pack ot
office seekers und political hucksters. I here are
many thousand of patriotic W big -, who, like my
self. will desert the parly before they will bo
bamboozled and lend their aid to support a tnon
grel ticket of any kind. They wanttho straight
out ticket or none. If the leaders of the “Con

the election takes placo they won't be hide to
